v 8 with v6 springs

I might be getting a v6 body real cheap, engine is bad from sitting up. It is a 92 'bird. This lady bought it new and has been too old to drive for years now. Her son is going to sell it to me if I want it.

Just how low will it sit with a v8 in it? At a later date I could get new springs if really needed.

Thanks, I may get it. the body and interior are close to mint. Only $200. Shouldn't pass that up even if I just used it for parts.

I have V6 springs in my car but my front weight is still close to factory weights.

also i think the only reason my tires rub a little is because of the rims are a little deeper ?with a stock wheel it prob wont rub at all,but i hardly ever drive the thing so im not messin with it lol
